The Arie e Lamenti and Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi, originally released separately in 1990 and 1994, firmly established Montserrat Figueras as one of the finest performers of the vocal music of Monteverdi. She forged a new path with her innovative style of interpretation, characterized by fidelity to the historical sources and an extraordinary creative and expressive power. This specially-priced set, has been remastered for SACD and features Alia Vox's usual deluxe packaging and presentation.
